An old house is a series of layers. Layers of renovation. Layers of dirt. Layers of lifetimes. In an old house you remember that it's not all about you. Someone has come before you and someone will come after you. Each make their own mark and eternity stretches out ahead of us all.
Before: The old fireplace no longer works; but I admire such things of humble invention and think it gorgeous. This room is going to be our dining room which I like to call the keeping room.
After: Painted paneling does wonders! You can see the steps to nowhere to the right of the fireplace. I was so disappointed to find they closed off the steps to put in the new duct work, but I think I prefer air conditioning over the novelty of some really cool old steps. This is the font door that leads to the porch.
